Taster

Nose: Prickly. Grassy. Freshly cut grass. Angelica, lemon balm. Vanilla wafer. Touch of mint. Refreshing.

Palate: Sweet and smooth at first. Getting fizzy. Light and refreshing. White peach. Pear Williams. The alcohol is not totally mastered. Numbing sensation.

Finish: Dry, tangy, burning.

Comment: A pleasant light aromatic profile but this whisky has not matured in very active casks.

Score: 7.4

Taster

Nose: Autumnal, piles of dry leaves, drying grass cuttings. Fruit notes develop, peach and apricot. Roasted cob nuts.

Palate: Sweet peach syrup. Very clean and fresh. Water softens the alcohol nicely\rand brings out peach cobbler and baked apples.

Finish: Clean and herbal.

Comment: Without water this is a little unbalanced, but with water it transforms into a gorgeous dram.

Score: 8.5
